Nice host, I stayed there for a week and I saw him several times, always asking me if everything ok or need anything. Easy access to public transportation and main downtown avenues, pretty quite street so u can get rest easily after overcrowded malls racing.
For the rates you probably won't have a decent place like this in the new donwtown of Bangkok and get Lumipini park almost at your door . No fancy furnitures but real thai style room for expats or tourists.
